1 John 3:4-10 ~ practice

"Pontius Pilate, a prefect of the Roman province of Judea from AD 26 to 36"

1 John 3:4-10

4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

5 You know 
that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 

Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. 

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 

10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, 
nor is the one who does not love his brother.

Jesus hHeals the lame. Cures the blind. The deaf Hear. And Jesus was considered Collateral Damage to Pilate's career.

Mark 15

9 And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”

 10 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. 
11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead.

12 And Pilate again said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” 

13 And they cried out again, “Crucify him.” 

14 And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” 

But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him.” 



15 So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas,

and having scourged Jesus,
he delivered him to be crucified.




The main purpose of Life God Plans is Love. The cost of finding a way for all of mankind who are flawed and sinners to find a Place in the Kingdom of God of All. Creator of Life and the Universe. This is what God has done for us:

1 Corinthians 13

And just as the Shepherds proclaiming the Salvation and Glory of God, we find Herod's group is deciding what Political approach to take in Luke 3. And Luke 3 continues His Story listing Family. Generations and the way forward. Acts 1 and 2 clearly shows us God has a Way forward.

And 1 Corinthians 13 is followed by 1 Corinthians 14. Hearts are revealed. The Purpose of God is Love and the Prodigal's Father gives seasons and time for the heart of His Beloved to be revealed.

1 Corinthians 14

20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

21 In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.”

22 Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. 23 If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? 24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,

25 the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.

We all remember and hold firm to the Word of God saying, "All things work together for Good for those who Love the Lord and work according to His Purpose." Romans 8:28

God is still Working.

The purpose of the Seed Parable is time and seasons. The purpose of The Prodigal Son is time and seasons. The reasons for the ups and downs recorded in Scripture, God's Word,  are for the purpose of understanding the ebb and flow of life, To create our hearts revealed. God working and working for Love to Prevail. We decide who we will be. Putting aside what is the most comfortable. Working in His Wisdom. Creating a Harbor for God's People to understand His Love. Not giving into selfishness and being Just and Merciful.

Our Harbor will be for Goodness. Not to hide from the storm. Not to create a way to have self pity allowing us selfishness.
